Fractux Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Using BCM v1.08 RC32 I took a POL/TER carrer, with a questar. I landed at MZONE35, and attemted to drop off my Mining drone and found that "DEPLOY DRONE" was not in the waypoint list for the shuttle. [see image ] Nor is the option to deploy OC1 - OC4 present either. So I can only do this manually.[i remember this problem was fixed before in v1.08 RC4] Also, in lyrius, I noticed this strange occurence. There are 3 ships [as seen in the shot here ] whose distance from me were labeled as R1$, R-1$ and R1$. When selected, none of the ships would show up in the CVD VID screen. Not sure what to make of this...as of yet I did not see this in other sectors. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 You might want to start with a new install then patch to RC23 and then RC32. Then see if you can reproduce either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractux Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Well, that fixed it. I guess putting it on top of my old install, which I've had for a while, bugged something up. Though, my old sav is invaled, as the problem is in it, but not in any new games.. doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractux Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Well this IS strange, the menues were there when I began playing, and now they have dissapeared again! Now I'm stumped. I had started the same type of career, and had left my ship on the planet while I went to go trade in a shuttle. the menues were there, because I used them to deploy my mining drones, however, when I docked again [i was trading for about 2 hours I guess], they were gone again!

Gordon Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi Fractux, Noticed that you are using the 40.71 drivers, there are some known issues with these drivers, nothing to do with the game. Try switching back to the 40.41 drivers and see if this resolves the problem. For further information read this, as a matter of fact Advil has posted that the 42.01 beta drivers are working for him, I'm not too keen on using beta drivers but it's another option if you do not want to drop back to the 40.41's.

Fractux Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Well, I uninstalled the 40.72's and installed the 40.41's, and as soon as I started up, I could see the menues. Will keep you posted if they disappear again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalshion Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 The ships appearing at neg range is one problem that im having.. my fix to it is just get near a station and select the enemie ship(or allie'd) and press the T key *Tow* and dock.. you still get money and exp. Im having a seperate problem but im going to post that problem once im able to gather more information on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: The ships appearing at neg range is one problem that im having..That should never happen. Do you have a saved game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalshion Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Don't mean to be rude but good luck with a savegame.. all mine refuse to load up now. Everytime I load them up via resume or restore they freeze on me a few seconds later.. I'll look through my other saves * there are 3 saves I know of that dont have this freeze up problem* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasos073 Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 quote: Originally posted by Kalshion: ...all mine refuse to load up nowI have a possible treatment for you. Load a saved game that has absolutely no relationship with the saves SC asked you to send him. Then quit the loaded save and reload the one you're interested to. That works allways on my PC. I don't know the exact cause of that, but I think it has something to do with system cache... ...hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look through my other saves * there are 3 saves I know of that dont have this freeze up problem* Saved games work fine, as long as they were created using the correct game version. The ONLY time they will not load is if they were started with an unsupported game version or they are corrupted. I use saved games all the time - and so far, you're the only person who has corrupted saved games. Weren't you the same person with that corrupted game regarding waypoints? You need to start thinking about actually installing and patching the game properly. Then starting a fresh game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalshion Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 From the looking of things I'll have to anyway sense I can't resume from the save game im at.. oh well im getting a new computer so I'll start a new game then =) that should probably solve some of my problems.......
